DYFConf Europe Schedule

Actionable, info-packed talks.

The Double Your Freelancing Conference (#dyfconf) is a single-track conference that’s focused on helping freelancers and agencies grow their businesses.

You’ll learn from some of the brightest minds in the industry — which includes the all-star speaker lineup we’ve prepared for you. Each talk will give you a handful of actionable to-do items that you can incorporate immediately into your business. And because all of our speakers are attendees also, we’ve mixed in plenty of time for discussion during meals, between talks, and in the evenings for you to get all your questions answered.

Why Clients Buy

Do clients make rational buying decisions based on what we’re selling? Or could simple changes to how we communicate influence whether they buy? Learn what’s really going on in the minds of our clients, and how a few simple tweaks to what we say and do can make all the difference in closing deals.

Let’s keep the conversation going and talk about what we learned during the morning sessions.

Growing Authority: How to Open New Doors with Social Media

You can achieve everything on the list with a single asset — authority. But how to grow it? How to establish yourself as one? Mojca is going to show you how to utilize social media today to establish yourself as an authority and get the key you need to open the doors of several opportunities that are waiting for you and your expertise.

How can you make your business an actual business, rather than a job?

In this talk, I’ll present a step-by-step framework you can use to automate your freelancing business.

Implementation Time

For the next few hours, you’ll work on your business. By the end of the conference, you’ll have created something of value that will help strengthen your business.
